Vin Diesel and Justin Lin -

At the end of April, longtime 'Fast & Furious' director Justin Lin made the surprising announcement that he was stepping down from the 10th and final film, just days into production. He called it a "difficult decision" and expressed his gratitude and respect for the cast, crew, and studio. A week later, sources say that Lin's exit was due to a major disagreement with the franchises' star, Vin Diesel.  It was reported that Lin was unhappy with frequent changes to the script that resulted from the fact that one filming location was unavailable due to the war in Ukraine and one of the villains hadn't been cast yet. Diesel and the studio allegedly continued to push for changes against Lin's wishes. One source said: “Justin finally had enough and said, ‘This movie is not worth my mental health.’”

This wouldn't be the first time Vin Diesel had an alienating conflict with a colleague. He has been involved in a longstanding feud with Dwayne Johnson, who appeared in several films before quitting the franchise due to the difficult relationship with his co-star.

Diane Kruger and Quentin Tarantino -

Diane Kruger opened up about her experience landing the role of Bridget von Hammersmark in Quentin Tarantino's 2009 film 'Inglourious Basterds.' Kruger told the story of how Tarantino initially didn't want to cast her. "He auditioned everyone. He didn't want to audition me because he saw a movie that I was in that he didn't like," she explained. "So he didn't believe in me from the get-go. Literally, the only reason he auditioned me is because there was no one left to audition." She added that Tarantino "wouldn't see me in the US" and so she had to pay her own way to Germany just to audition. "So, I had to jump through all these hoops that definitely put my nose out of joint, but I was like, ‘You know what, f—k him. I'm just gonna do that and prove him that I could do it.'" She continued, "Thankfully, it all worked out but sometimes it just seems so unfair, and you've got to change the narrative."
